Whelahan sets the record straight as Offaly banish relegation threat
He played a leading role in the team's relegation victory in the Guinness hurling qualifier competition in a game in which the midlanders were always comfortably in control.
When they led by a 10-point margin at half-time and were unyielding in defence, Offaly were assured of their place in the McCarthy Cup next season. After that it was a relatively simple matter of gaining the necessary scores to combat a brave effort by Antrim to get back into contention.
